Question #1(Total: 50%)
An extemal flow of water was applied on top of the planar surface of a fibrous solid membrane (made of polymer with finite thickness). You are told that moxifloxacin (an antibiotics which is water soluble) was initially encapsulated within the matrix of polymer solid membrane as mentioned above. You are told that the flux of moxifloxacin from the polymer membrane surface was determined as 2.410-5molem2(s) under water flow with constant velocity profile. The partition coefficient Afs was given as 0.35. Also, the concentration of moxifloxacin in the water far away from the surface of polymer solid membrane was known to be 0.6moleL. The mass transfer coefficients values were known too as follows: kAS=3.510-9ms;kAF=9.710-9ms.
Please determine the concentration of moxifloxacin inside the polymer solid membrane (at the region just next to the water layer). Some basic conversion factors can be found in the tables in the Appendix.
